STOP RESISTING!!

Humankind resists each other in all sorts of ways. Pitting brother against brother, humanity is growing increasingly divided.
Our corporations are entities that sink tons of resources into competing with each other, the media point us to who to hate, who to fear and why, we have militaries to fight each other on the state level with whole industries using the best and brightest minds and greatest manufacturing capablity into technologies to kill one another.
People resist each other on all levels, people waste resources on all levels on pushing each other away, on getting ahead on all our expense.
Get that: getting ahead at all our expense.
So now we have COVID-19.
Did all the world come to the rescue of China? Fuck no. Would China even let the world assist them? Fuck no.
We and our Wall and the barbarians at the gate, we will never surrender!
Now people are DYING, DYING, DYING.
We keep fighting each other. We keep resisting each other.
Fighting Unity, fighting cooperation.
No contingency plan, no contingency hardware, no contingency budget.
And it KILLS and KILLS and KILLS while we resist each other, obstruct each other.
One World, One People, One Responsibility over that World and our Destiny.
And we're blowing it, royally.
Resisting, obstructing, hindering, preventing.
Competing.
COVID-19 does not compete.
Each of them will do the utmost towards the species goal.
Infect 3,4,5 hosts, or 50 at once if your host is on an airplane.
COVID-19 marches in iron lockstep to subdue us and we run around like headless chickens, competing, resisting, preventing adequate action against it.
Either we unite as a species or suffer very bitter casualties.
Very bitter indeed.
Not just by the disease but by the situation it creates to fight it while fighting each other.
Either we unite as a species to fight COVID-19 or we unite in grief over our loved ones and economic depression in a world we wrecked and keep on wrecking by resisting each other.
UNITY. It's no longer optional.
The bridge to the other isn't that long, if COVID-19 crosses it with ease.
We must Unite, not just against this virus but in all things.
This virus is a learning tool for us all to come together like never before.
In honor of those dying, let us do that RIGHT NOW.
UNITY.

Your ideal of unity is definitely something to strive for. We as humans determine what our unity is....more often than nought, we pick and choose our leaders based on our own selfishness. How do we stiffle our own selfishness in a country which promotes personal materialism? That answer is past my pay grade.
-------------------- “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

I'm game. I'm all about that unity. Let's all race some 4-wheelers and drink beer.
